Gotta change your youtube setting I think, you might be private all the way
awesome lift dude, i know that face you made when you finished it haha
should i be arching that much for maximal strength?
It's all about shortening the range of motion so you can push up heavier weight for the shortest amount of distance. Thats what the high arch and the bench belt do. They help keep me super tight and create a shorter range of motion. If you were going for maximal strength, I'd say yes, start working in the arch into the lift while keeping your glutes on the bench and the upper back super tight.
Very very clean and controlled. Excellent work!
Ill post a 315 attempt in 2 weeks to show you what I'm doing now. It's different for sure
How so? Are you tucking your elbows or arching your back? If I don't tuck my elbows there would be absolutely no way I would be able to hit that weight. It relies too much on the outer pec region that is not comfortable at all! Feels like I was going to tear my damn pecs. That's what happened to me 2 wks ago when I went for 300, I didn't tuck my elbows and I bombed that attempt miserably.
Oryan, since you have shifted over to PLing, are you still doing lat, delt, and arm work? And if so, how do you put those assistance movements into your weekly schedule?
